weird Php problems 10.2

dbc001 · 01-28-2006, 11:09 AM

OK I've just gotten Slackware 10.2 online, and I'm trying to get some PHP stuff going. I installed everything from the install CDs. Apache seems to have mod_php enabled.

But, when I try to browse to localhost/test.php all i see is the code:

Code:

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

It looks like apache is just sending it as if it were a normal text file. How do I get apache to process my php files properly?

thanks in advance,

Do you have this in httpd.conf?

Code:

Addtype application/x-httpd-php .php

Code:

   UW PICO(tm) 4.10                      File: mod_php.conf                                    

#
# mod_php - PHP Hypertext Preprocessor module
#

# Load the PHP module:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so

# Tell Apache to feed all *.php files through the PHP module:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# This will display PHP files in colored syntax form.  Use with caution.
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

yeah, that line is in mod_php.conf, which is referenced in httpd.conf:

Code:

root@justice:/etc/apache# grep -rn mod_php httpd.conf
1027:# ==> mod_php configuration settings <==
1033:#Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

This is everything pertaining to PHP in my httpd.conf (I use a custom PHP5 build)

Code:

LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.cgi
Addtype application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
php_flag zlib.output_compression On
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5

It looks like I've got everything except the php_flag and php_value. are those important?

does this mean that mod_php.conf isn't actually being loaded by httpd.conf?

The php_flag/value directives enable php compression in Apache. It speeds up rendering.
I haven't used the default PHP package in years; I'd compile PHP5 as it's quite worth it.

It is loaded if you have this in your httpd.conf
Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

Yep, didn't notice that the above line in your httpd.conf is commented out. That's your bug.
